The Zeiss Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 Prime lens for the Nikon F Mount by Carl Zeiss features a classic focal length with a moderate wide-angle perspective that is perfectly suited for commercial, location and nature photography. The Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 is designed to provide very high image quality over a wide range of apertures and focusing ranges. The super- fast f/1.4 aperture enables you to capture spectacular images under difficult lighting conditions. The Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 is designed for use with full-frame SLR and DSLR cameras. Combined with a DSLR with a 1.5 crop factor, the lens has an effective focal length of 53 mm and can be used as a standard focal length for a natural viewing perspective.

This Distagon T* 35mm f/1.4 lens has the Nikon ZF bayonet mount and includes a CPU that supports all key modes (e.g. aperture priority, shutter priority, program AE or manual exposure settings) on camera models equipped with an electronic interface (e.g. current Nikon DSLR cameras). To do so, simply lock the aperture ring in the largest f-stop (e.g. 16) shown in orange.
On camera models without an electronic interface, or when using an adapter ring for non ZF mount cameras the aperture is manually set on the lens aperture ring. With some camera models, it is possible to set in the menu whether the lens should be selected using the setting dial on the camera or the aperture ring on the lens. Please note that, for technical reasons, there is no halfway notch between the largest (e.g. 16) and second largest (e.g. 11) f-stop. The focused distance is not transmitted to the camera body.
